Is it true that SG Drivers hate cyclists....
-
....and vice versa?
I refer to this thread in a local car forum http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/General_C1/General_Car_Discussion_F1/BMW_hit_and_run_P1555799
It's sad to see the lack of sympathy for the dead cyclist(kana bang by BMW ) from the non-cyclist car drivers!
Is there really bad blood between the 2 road users?
Are cyclists really "pests " of the road?
Drivers, what are your views on this incident? -
But I thought it was motorbikers that car drivers hate ? Motor and car always race each other one I have seen it before. although eventually its the biker who dies.

From what I heard from most cabbies, cyclists have a bad Rep for ROAD HOGGING..Originally posted by RaaRaa:But I thought it was motorbikers that car drivers hate ? Motor and car always race each other one I have seen it before. although eventually its the biker who dies.

every car i have been in....
all the drivers kpkb about cyclists.............. -
Is it? I only know that cyclists are dangerous, any how turn without signaling. Early morning can see it...Originally posted by markzz:From what I heard from most cabbies, cyclists have a bad Rep for ROAD HOGGING.. -
Its irritating for car drivers when cyclists ride on the side of the road. Especially when its a 1 lane road.

Banglas and foreign workers are the reckless ones... once seen a Bangla riding AGAINST the heavy traffic at Little India and cutting diagonally across the road to the other side.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Is it?

This was of course greeted by lots of honking.. -
LOL... not just them. Singaporeans also got.Originally posted by markzz:Banglas and foreign workers are the reckless ones... once seen a Bangla riding AGAINST the heavy traffic at Little India and cutting diagonally across the road to the other side.

I once saw an auntie which did that. No honking, because got green arrow to turn right. But can see the drivers buay song. -
ya lor! Those aunties on market bikes sometimes really "Boh Cheng Hu " !Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL... not just them. Singaporeans also got.

Watch out for them at heartland areas... as a driver, it's scary to have a cyclist suddenly jamming brakes or making a sudden U-turn in front of u..

Cyclists don't deserve to be on the road at all. They are vulnerable to any mistake from the killing machines out there. Moreover, they cannot hit speeds of 50km/h and above, they are a nuisance to traffic.
More and more deaths but people still cycle on the roads to "excercise", "save money" .......bah!

so u are trying to say that the only place for cyclists are the public parks and sidewalks?Originally posted by Rock^Star:Cyclists don't deserve to be on the road at all.

hmm.... -
Not for me to say but govt should have foreseen this problem. Cycling paths should have been built years ago.Originally posted by markzz:so u are trying to say that the only place for cyclists are the public parks and sidewalks? hmm....
There was one time this "bangla" lost his balance and veered right in front of me. I almost thought I was going to run him over if not for the fact that he regained his momentum.
So if I run him over, who will the police fault? They will slap me with a fine, demerit points and his hospital bill. If he's dead, I'm going to jail? Cyclists should be banned from roads. -
cyclists have no signals lights whatOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Is it? I only know that cyclists are dangerous, any how turn without signaling. Early morning can see it... -
what is the width of your car??Originally posted by RaaRaa:Its irritating for car drivers when cyclists ride on the side of the road. Especially when its a 1 lane road.
one lane for a car is more than enough! -
yes cycling paths should have been builted long time ago but you think iszz possible to have cycling path built all over singapore ??Originally posted by Rock^Star:Not for me to say but govt should have foreseen this problem. Cycling paths should have been built years ago.

Y not? Look at our pedestrian paths.....U don't think our govt can do it? Or would u rather see fellow cyclists die on the road every single year, without fail......
-
Taxi drivers, they cut my lane one time, I make sure they cannot cut lane 3 other times.
Yes, they're out to earn a living, but not by making me bump their backside to earn it right? 
-
they will do. but you think how long will it happened? its not always cyclists fault that accident happened!Originally posted by Rock^Star:Y not?

While I agree they shouldn't be on the roads, the government is doing to nothing to help.Originally posted by Rock^Star:Cyclists don't deserve to be on the road at all.

They are building more and more blocks. Those vertical things in bus stops. Want to cycle to parks, see those vertical things again. Totally no way to cycle. Want to cycle must go rent or you break rules and cycle on the road. -
Hand signals...Originally posted by leo-kun:cyclists have no signals lights what
I know of a few considerate cyclists who will hand signal... -
You are right that it's not always a cyclist's fault that accident happens. Given this nature of our road conditions, cyclists should be banned to prevent further deaths.Originally posted by leo-kun:they will do. but you think how long will it happened? its not always cyclists fault that accident happened! -
Even if cannot, can share with cars de what... just keep to the side. Use hand signal when want to make turns. Just that the government don't want nia... and build a lot of blocks some more.Originally posted by leo-kun:yes cycling paths should have been builted long time ago but you think iszz possible to have cycling path built all over singapore ?? -
maybe you should try cycling on the road and give hand signal at the same timeOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hand signals...
I know of a few considerate cyclists who will hand signal...
and you willl know why some cyclists dont give hand signals -
then should we have a lane for motorcycles too??Originally posted by Rock^Star:You are right that it's not always a cyclist's fault that accident happens. Given this nature of our road conditions, cyclists should be banned to prevent further deaths.
they are the main cause of accident right -
I have no problems with those pro cyclist, with tights and racing bikes... they are street smart.
The ones i hate are those bangla and old men.... they have no regard for their own safety. How to not hit them when they cycle like they wanna get hit?
